Students at career and technical schools are more likely to graduate within four years than their traditional classroom peers, but tracking their paths after graduation remains a challenge, according to simulations of new report cards released Tuesday.

Most career-technical districts, some of which include multiple programs, had high four-year graduation rates, with two-thirds of Ohio's 91 districts receiving A's on that measure. Five-year graduation rates were slightly lower with 53.8 percent of districts receiving A's, according to simulations based on class of 2011 data.
